Alert Signal Signaller Signalling Signals Warn Warning Scout Scouting Scouts
EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming photograph captures the spirit of early Girl Scouting as a young girl proudly serves as a signaller for her troop in the late 1800s. Dressed in her full uniform, complete with hat and sash, the baby scout holds up a signal flag, alerting her fellow campers of potential danger. The serene hillside setting, dotted with trees and wildflowers, adds to the idyllic scene. The Girl Scout movement, founded in 1910 by Juliette Gordon Low, drew inspiration from the Boy Scouts, which had been established in 1907. However, this image predates the official inception of the Girl Scouts by more than a decade. This early example of girls engaging in scouting activities demonstrates the growing trend of young girls learning valuable skills and taking on leadership roles in the late Victorian era. The signaller role was an essential part of the scouting experience, as it taught girls the importance of communication, teamwork, and situational awareness. With a keen eye and quick reflexes, the baby scout in this photograph embodies the courage and determination of young girls who were determined to make a difference in their communities, even in the face of potential threats. This image, taken in 1900, offers a glimpse into the rich history of Girl Scouting and the enduring legacy of the organization, which continues to empower girls and young women around the world today.
